The “not guilty” verdict pronounced by the court in the JİTEM case, flying as it does in the face of a plethora of strongly incriminating evidence, violates my sense of justice, too, as it does for many others. Even if, as some would have it, these cases were started through the “Congregation’s desire to settle accounts” and then also paralyzed through their manipulations, they carried, and do carry, a fundamental, non-negligible significance.

In the past, the AKP announced a policy of “zero tolerance for torture” to take a great step on the road to a state of law. Today, too, it should announce a policy of “zero tolerance for lawlessness” in order to prevent such unjust outcomes to cases that have truly wounded public conscience.

The AK Party has the opportunity to be an umbrella that encompasses all segments of the society despite their ideological differences

Just think: a party that has got fifty percent of the votes self-critically admits to “having made mistakes,” while those that have suffered an overwhelming defeat are still looking for external excuses to blame. This by itself is enough to demonstrate that the AKP is the only political movement in this country that deserves to be in power, and if at all possible not to share that power.

What the PKK has to do is revert to its line as it stood at the beginning of the Solution Process. If the PKK were to go back to the year 2013, the minimal conditions needed for “everything to begin from scratch” might jell together yet again.
